First Ultrasound :)

Posted Wednesday, November 04, 2009 8:52 PM

We went for our first ultrasound a week ago (at 8 weeks) just to see how the baby was progressing and to verify our due date - my due date stayed the same (June 6th) and the baby is progressing perfectly!  The baby's heartbeat was at 162 (the technician said is should be between 120 and 160 so it was great.) 

So some people asked me if we cried - the answer is no (not sure what that means about us) but honestly, we were super excited when she first started putting my stomach on the screen but then she proceeded to tell us that it was just my ovaries and uterus and other stuff she had to check out first.  By the time she got to the baby, it didn't look much different than the rest of the stuff haha - although it was super exciting to see the baby's heartbeat on the screen!  It's real!!  Was basically what went through my mind! 

We go back again in a few weeks for another ultrasound and blood test for some of the genetic testing they do.  She said we could possibly tell a little more at that time (hopefully a gender!!)  We are definitely all for finding out what it is - I'm a huge planner so I need to know - the next 7 months would be brutal if I didn't "know"!
